Swisher's 24" walk-behind rough-cut mower is perfect for cutting trails through the woods and clearing fields and ditches year-round. It will clear the densest undergrowth and saplings up to 1-1/2 inches in diameter. This self-propelled walk-behind features an 11.5 HP Briggs & Stratton electric AND recoil start engine and a heavy-duty fabricated cutting deck with a 1-3/4" cutting height range. The single G6 commercial cutting blade zips through brush and saplings with ease, and the blade is enclosed for maximum safety. Handlebar mounted controls are easily accessible for PTO, self-propelled and safety. The adjustable height handlebar eases operator control. Large pneumatic chevron tires roll easily over the roughest terrain for excellent traction in all conditions. The four-speed transmission is great for setting a comfortable pace, and a reverse mode is handy for backing out of rough spots. Front and side safety deflectors protect against flying debris while the protective guard keeps the engine and electrical components covered. 50 state compliant. Made in the USA

Needs Wheels Up Front

Mower arrived in good shape. I was a little miffed that I had to run out and buy a battery though for the electric start. Machine started fine and ran well - it has plenty of power and the low speed is great for tall, thick weeds. I did do some "engineering" though. I replaced the side skid panels with two $7 wheels from Walmart and now it rolls instead of skidding when I have to run it across the driveway. It also makes it easier to handle with less weight up front. I don't like how it handles tall stiff weeds though. It seems to just push them over and then ride up on top of the weeds instead of cutting them. I think this is due to the wedge-shaped front of the mower, which may soon get removed to see if it makes it work better. Reverse works, but the "safety" feature makes it kind of a pain to engage. Another annoyance is the handlebar position. It's not very comfortable to hold the bars due to the handgrips facing the operator. I tried to pull it backward in neutral and the foam handgrips just slid off!

Purchased this machine for our facility. Used it numerous times thus far and it is fantastic. We haven't come across any location that this machine won't cut. Only recommendation I have is def buy the battery to make use of the electric start.
